Shared Ownership homes for all sorts of Londoners

Anyone who's dared to type the words "average first-time buyer deposit London" into an internet search engine would be forgiven for assuming that they're forever priced out of the capital's housing market. But Shared Ownership with L&Q changes everything.

This nifty scheme allows you to purchase a 25%-75% share of a property, and pay rent on the rest. Because you need only secure a deposit and mortgage for the share you buy, the upfront costs are dramatically reduced. You've even got the option of "staircasing" your way up to full ownership as your finances improve. That's not the only reason to love L&Q, though; the housing association reinvest all of its profits into its new and existing communities. 

L&Q at The Silk District in Whitechapel, for example, comes with access to an exclusive gym, peloton studio, and cinema room, not to mention proximity to the coolest bits of east London. Then there's Hounslow's L&Q at High Street Quarter, built around a new public square that'll offer a ton of entertainment, right on your doorstep. Or how about L&Q at Hayes Village, a haven for nature lovers complete with its own running track and walking trail, on the outskirts of west London?
